Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World: Pool Party Guide
7 min read
Ayu Dayclub is the new school pick. While the old guard pools have been running for years, Ayu opened with Resorts World at the north end of the Strip and made an instant case as the best looking day club in town with a fresh crowd to match.
If you want a Vegas pool party that does not feel like a decade old institution, this is it. Here is how to do Ayu Dayclub right.
What Makes Ayu Stand Out
Ayu Dayclub lives at Resorts World, the newest major resort on the Strip, and it shows. The space has the most distinct design of the big pools, a tropical theme, premium production, and a layout that photographs better than almost anything in town.
Being part of a newer property means cleaner facilities, modern everything, and a crowd that came specifically to try the alternative to the established pools. It feels current in a way the older clubs cannot fake.
The north Strip location near the Las Vegas Convention Center is a plus or minus depending on where you are staying, but it keeps the crowd a little different from the central Strip megapools.
The Music and Bookings
Ayu books a mix of EDM and hip-hop names across the season, so it is more flexible than the EDM only pools. Check the calendar before you pick a day, because the booking sets the energy and the price.
The crowd is younger and fresh, drawn by the new property and the strong production. It is a high energy scene without being locked into a single genre.
Resorts World as a whole runs Zouk Nightclub on property, so you can pair an Ayu day with a Zouk night and stay in one place.
Tickets vs Cabanas
General admission gets you in and into the crowd. You stand, dance, and work the bars for drinks. Solid for a small group that just wants the experience.
Daybeds and cabanas reserve a spot with service and a bottle minimum. For four or more, splitting one usually lands near GA plus drinks per head, with shade and a home base that makes the day much better.
Ayu has premium spots near the pool and the action. The upgrade is worth it for a group or a celebration, while GA plus a drink plan covers a casual day.
Timing Your Day
Doors open late morning and the party builds through the afternoon. Arrive early to beat the line, claim space, and dodge the worst of the heat.
Weekends and headliner days are the peak and the splurge. Weekdays are the calmer, cheaper version of the same pool.
Pace the day. Hydrate, eat first, and slow the drinks, because the desert sun and all day partying take people down quickly.
Dress Code and What to Bring
Swimwear that looks good, since the crowd dresses to be seen. Cover ups, stylish swim, sandals, and skip the baggy gym shorts.
Bring ID, a card, and a waterproof phone pouch, and travel light because storage is limited.
No outside food, drinks, or coolers, and security is strict on bags and certain items, so check the current policy before you arrive.
Is Ayu Worth It?
Yes, if you want the newest, best looking pool party with a fresh crowd and flexible music. It is the current 'it' day club and the design alone makes it worth seeing.
The north Strip location is the main tradeoff. If you are staying central and want to stay close, a Cosmopolitan or MGM pool is an easier walk.
Best move: check the calendar for a day with music you want, split a daybed with your group, arrive early, and pair it with a Zouk night since both live at Resorts World.
